November 17, 2015

In this new photo-series I’m going to share some of my favourite photos of trees. This old beech tree, photographed near Kelso in late autumn, made a beautiful silhouette against the sky.

I like the sound of your new series and this is a wonderful picture to start it off. The intricacy of the branches and twigs is quite mesmerising.

  Thanks, Lorna – I’m looking forward to finding lots more photos! I really loved this tree, taken when we stopped for a few minutes down a country lane in the Borders.

  Thanks, Jeanne! It was one of those days where you didn’t know if your photos would turn out to be good, or rubbish! Quite challenging lighting.
